GOOD GOVERNANCE- LED POLICYMAKING

INDIA’S ECONOMIC accomplishments came in for a special mention in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent address on the occasion of Civil Services Day in the national capital. The PM said that India is rising as the 5th largest economy in the world, as he talked about India taking strides in fintech (number one in digital transactions). Data available to Indian consumer is the cheapest. India is the third largest startup ecosystem in the world. With Vision 2047 already as the guiding principle for policymaking, the PM also referred to District Visions@100 that are under preparation and said that such visions should be prepared up to panchayat levels. “What sectors should be focused in the panchayats, blocks, district and the state, changes for attracting investment and identification of products that can be taken up for exports, a clear vision for all this should be developed,” the PM said.
